They've been romantically linked for years, so the fact that Sean 'P Diddy' Coombs and pop star Cassie spent New Year's Eve apart has certainly raised eyebrows.

Despite being an official item, the two celebrated in different parts of the world on December 31st.

While Cassie was sunning herself in an unknown exotic location, the superstar rapper was hosting an elaborate party in Miami, Florida.

Even Beyonce and Jay-Z arrived on a motorbike following a private performance at the Versace mansion.

But, while Cassie was left to her own devices, she didn't waste the opportunity. In fact, the model and actress dedicated plenty of down time to uploading revealing
pictures of herself to Instagram.

More recently, he revealed on TV show The View that he has no plans to get married.

He said at the time: 'It definitely would be a dream come true for me to just one day be
ready for that.

'I’m not really looking because I know the responsibility
that comes with that, and I think that a lot of people, they jump into
that and they’re not honest with themselves.

'I’m brutally honest with myself. I don’t want to get married and not
make that woman be the best. I’ve been close to it and when I’m ready,
I’ll make the announcement, but when I do it, I’m doing it forever.
